Meeting needs in Community. Our Care Team is made up of volunteers, deacons and an elder, who go through a 6-month training program. They work in pairs to respond to requests for help from people in the liberti community. The Care team responds to requests for help, including help with: Housing/Rent, Utilities (heat, water, electricity), Food, Medical attention, Insurance (within limits), Transportation (within limits), Counseling (1:1 lay counseling) and Childcare. Assistance for these last 3 items must be exhausted first within the Home Meeting before individuals approach the Care Team.
There is a Care Team Help Line through our main phone number (215-255-8414) at the liberti church office or via email to careteam@fairmount.liberti.org. This Help Line is monitored by a Care Team volunteer and checked every 24 hours. Once someone leaves a confidential request for help, the Care Team member will walk them through a screening process to help ascertain how the Care Team can best provide help. The entire process is confidential, and will take a minimum of 2 weeks.
